amdi Ulukaya’s story is familiar around here, but still stunning to contemplate. In 2005, he happened upon the former Kraft plant in South Edmeston, started making Greek-style yogurt there, and today is running a $1 billion worldwide operation from the tiny crossroads on Unadilla Creek. On Saturday, June 8, in Monte Carlo’s Salle de Etoiles, he was named Ernst & Young’s World Entrepreneur of 2013. That’s World Entrepreneur; the whole, wide world. He bested 49 finalists from seven continents. “Entrepreneurs have done more than any other group to stimulate innovation, job creation and prosperity during both periods of growth Here’s the photo the Business Wire distributed from the Salle de Etoiles and in more challenging in Monte Carlo of Hamdi Ulukaya of South Edmeston receiving Ernst & Young’s World Entrepreneur of 2013 award. economic conditions,” Jim Turley, global chairevery immigrant’s American In the Village of (Occasionally, because – as man/CEO, Ernst & Young, dream,” said Maria Pinelli, Cooperstown, neighbors of you can imagine – his hours was quoted as saying on E&Y’s global vice chair for the Pioneer Street home that were fully consumed.) the Business Wire. “Hamdi strategic growth markets. he rented before moving to At the suggestion of his epitomizes the vision and • Norwich recall occasionally cheesemaking father, who determination that set entreUlukaya’s story has been waving to the slight, smiling was visiting from their preneurs apart.” told here before, of course, but preoccupied man who native Turkey, Hamdi had “Hamdi has rightly been but it’s miraculous nonethewould occasionally be seen started a feta-making plant called the personification of less. pulling out of his driveway. in Johnstown. With the

South Edmeston plant in hand, yogurt seemed as logical a next step as any other. As Ulukaya tells it, he and a half-dozen employees shipped a first palette to New York City not knowing what the reception would be. The next week, two palettes. The next week, six. (As it happens, this became one of social media’s celebrated success stories.) Now, of course, the numbers boggle the mind. Chobani employs 3,000 employees worldwide, more than half locally, and some 40 percent of those are from Otsego County. When you meet Hamdi, you warm up to him quickly. He’s a pleasant, approachable, 40-something guy, easy to talk to.

Meanwhile, we ignore a special brand of genius operating close at hand. The reality is, whey will be processed – not immediately, but soon – by technologies that demand is a’borning. Roads can be redesigned to better handle the new challenge. Monte Carlo recognizes Hamdi Ulukaya before our Monticello or Mount Vision does. Let’s stop it. Let’s recognize him and Chobani for the gifts they are. Let’s root out the weed of negativity in our outlooks. Let’s celebrate Hamdi Ulukaya. Let’s determine to resolve any less-thanperfect spinoffs of what’s a huge success story. Hamdi did it. The ingredients of success are therefore all around us. Let’s take pride and satisfaction in that he did it here. And inspiration. Thanks, Hamdi Ulukaya, for the inspiration.

Mr. Mathes went on to say that environmental enhancement is a large piece of this pie – keep our air and water pure and we will attract business. In his own way he paid homage to home rule when he spoke about communities deciding for themselves the kinds of development they do and don’t want. Recognizing that competition is fierce, we need to stand higher, be smarter and commit funds to our IDA to be successful. His idea that we need to forget boundaries and work in partnership is crucial as it will take government, the private sector, planning boards and colleges etc. working as one to set us down the path we need to go. At this juncture Otsego County has a golden opportunity to succeed, let’s make the most of it. BETH ROSENTHAL County Representative District 7

To the Editor: I was pleased to read your article about the recent presentation to the county board by former Greene County IDA Director Sandy Mathes. It was a very good presentation full of good ideas, good suggestions and a possible road map forward for Otsego County. For quite some time some of us on the county board have been advocating for a county comprehensive plan, so it was refreshing to hear Mr. Mathes state that “planning, planning, planning” and having a vision – just what a comprehensive plan describes – is the key to success. In recognizing our assets and embracing the future – rather than looking to the past – we see so much potential. Higher education, medical resources, microbreweries, a dominant agriculture sector and athletics are just a few of the areas where we have a head start.

Re Surveillance, We Have Chance To Set Ship Of State Aright To the Editor: A word on the unfolding NSA matter. Whatever our political opinions, we all recognize that this overall program is dangerous in the wrong hands. And I think we all recognize that we live in a world in which what can be done, will be done. And that

we have no way of knowing in whose hands this will eventually fall. Looked at that way, it’s clear to me that as long as these activities are allowed to continue, it poses a danger to the Republic. As an aside, I’ll say that I consider the private collection of customer data as dangerous as

the government collection, because the government can always get the private data – not to mention that it’s an unwonted intrusion on our privacy for gain. So what we have here is something that left unchecked will continue to expand according to its own logic, that will, eventually,

be a genuine threat to the nation, and that needs to be treated accordingly. If we can eschew the trap of finger pointing, we’re faced with an opportunity to set the ship of state aright, and I hope we as a nation don’t fall into that trap. ANDREW REINBACH Burlington Flats

JEFF KATZ FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK

22 Main’s 10 Arguments For Paid Parking Editor’s Note: Friday, June 14, Mayor Katz and the Village Board’s Finance Committee issued this 10point explication of financial forces behind the decision to implement paid parking on Main and Pioneer Streets, Cooperstown. 1. Our aging infrastructure includes water and sewer pipes that are over a century old and streets in need of complete overhaul rather than resurfacing. The Village also has five village parks, Doubleday Field and a historic building at 22 Main St. in constant need of maintenance. Most villages of less than 2,000 do not have such assets. 2. The Village has been the main supporter of the library with donations of about $88,000 per year, plus free rent and utilities, even though the library serves an area much larger than just the village. Neighboring towns donate only a small portion of the Library costs (Otsego, $10,000; Middlefield, $3,000), but their residents hold about the same number of library cards as Village residents. 3. The Village bears almost all the burden for infrastructure that supports tourism in the area, except for fire and ambulance contracts for which we are reimbursed. 4. The only way for a village to legally generate revenue is property taxes and fees. The Village has been raising revenue from fees for using Doubleday Field for baseball games, special events like weddings and the Furthur concert in July. The village collects permit fees from vendors who use our sidewalks and parking lots

during special events like the Hall of Fame Induction weekend. All of these revenue sources help cover the cost of maintaining Village assets and services and reduce the need to raise taxes. Any other taxes would need to be introduced by the state Legislature, approved by them and signed by the governor. 5. The Village needs to, and will, pursue the repair work needed. In the last year we have received over $700,000 in state grants for a Main Street renovation, but the village’s share will still be over $200,000. This project is intended to help our business district. Additionally, we are pursuing tax abatements to lessen the impact of business improvements. 6. Paid parking is a way of creating revenue on our own, without the permission of the county and state. In the five years of Doubleday Field paid parking (2008-12), the Village has received approximately $500,000 from an initial investment of $20,000 for the two machines. On-street paid parking, with an initial investment slightly over $100,000 (which will be paid back in the first few months of operation), is expected to produce between $150,000-200,000 per year to be used on infrastructure repair. Every $100,000 generated from paid parking is the equivalent of a 5.6 percent tax increase. 7. The Village gets 0 percent of the county bed tax. Over 60 percent of the $1 million bed-tax revenues are collected in the Cooperstown “magnet area,” including the Village and the Towns of Otsego, Milford and Hartwick. (It isn’t called “Hartwick

Dreams Park.”) Current and past mayors have requested a share of the bed tax. These requests were granted in 2008-10 but never before or since. 8. The Village gets 1 percent of all sales tax by law. The county gets 76 percent and the City of Oneonta 12 percent (because as a city they have the power to create their own sales tax and the county agreed to 12 percent to have the City join the sales tax agreement). All the other municipalities in the county split the remaining 12 percent. According to a 2010 newspaper article, the Town of Otsego (which includes Cooperstown, which we can assume is the bulk of Town of Otsego sales tax creation) generated 11 percent (using 2007) figures. We receive about $300,000 per year, while we generate over 10 times that. 9. Becoming a city, and thereby retaining all of our sales tax and creating our own bed tax has been investigated by the current and previous mayors. It is a process that is politically dead in the water. It would need to be introduced by the state Legislature, approved by them and signed by the governor. 10. The Village has been using a DOS based accounting system that is so old and hard to maintain that it is very difficult to obtain quick and accurate accounting and financial information. We will be installing a new accounting system this year which will help us manage the Village’s finances. It will also facilitate establishing a system to plan income and expenditures beyond the current budget year, which has not been done in the past.

The War News – The long-threatened, and by many long-expected, invasion of the North by the rebels has taken place. What progress they have made, or how successful our troops have been in checking their formidable raid, is not known at the time we write. The intelligence thus far received is extremely foggy and unreliable. One thing is painfully evident from all the accounts which reach us from Pennsylvania – the rapid movements of the enemy appear to have taken the people of that State and the government at Washington by surprise. Gov. Curtin had no state troops at hand, and the President could send him none from Washington. June 19, 1863

New York State’s Super-Highway, from New York to Albany to Buffalo, passing through the Mohawk Valley is planned as the World’s greatest motor route, according to information given out by Captain A.W. Brandt, Commissioner of Highways of the New York State Department of Public Works. While the present plans call for comparatively early work on an acrossthe-state highway of four lanes with a twenty-foot park strip in the center, Captain Brandt and his highway engineers are planning a 50-year project which will see the construction of a twelve-strip highway, 250-feet wide, making possible a future trip from New York across the state to Buffalo in five hours. Some say the twelve-lane road will be installed in 25 years or less. June 22, 1938

The weather for the past week has been warm and delightfully pleasant. We have never known every species of grain and grass to come forward with greater rapidity. The grass crop and English grains, in this county, look well, and promise an abundant return for the toil of the husbandman. The appearance of Indian corn is good, yet it is unusually backward. We have seen a good many farmers within the past week, in different towns, and all wear cheerful countenances. June 18, 1838

(Ed. Note: General Zebulon M. Pike, a hero of the War of 1812, was killed at Sacketts Harbor on March 27, 1813 when a British powder magazine exploded, propelling a large stone into his back. Pike’s Peak in Colorado is named in his honor.) It may not be amiss, perhaps, to notice a humble mark of respect offered by the Managers of the Baltimore Theatre, a few evenings ago to the memory of General Zebulon. M. Pike. The house was crowded in consequence of several spectacles designed in honor of the day. Between the second and third act of the play the curtain slowly, but unexpectedly rose, to solemn music, and exhibited a lofty obelisk on which was inscribed “Z.M. Pike, Brigadier General, Fell Gloriously Before York.” On the left hand of the monument was that elegant actress, Mrs. Green, in character as Columbia, armed, kneeling one knee, and pensively pointing with her spear to the name of the hero. Her address was uncommonly splendid & very appropriate. On the other side was a lady, an elegant figure, dressed in the deepest mourning, gracefully leaning against the pedestal, immovably fixed in all the solemn majesty of woe. June 19, 1813

urged members to advertise her position as quickly as possible to ensure a smooth transition. County Rep. Ed Frazier, R-Unadilla, replied, “My gut tells me this: Economic development is not going to be county-run in the future.” Miller pointed out that the Hillside Commons, Newman Development Group’s 325-student housing complex near SUNY Oneonta, would generate $250,000 in fees to the IDA. Only the IDA has the money, Lewis agreed. “Everybody says the county has to invest in economic development,” she told the committee. “The reality is: You aren’t going to do so.” County Rep. Linda Rowinski, D-Oneonta, said, “Sitting down with the IDA is step one.” The consensus quickly formed that should be done as soon as possible, and Lewis was asked to schedule it two days later. “We need to be successful,” said Miller, who noted he has invited Mathes back to specifically discuss cityrelated issues. “How we get there is irrelevant. What’s important is we achieve that goal.”

JOBS/From A1 Chair Kathy Clark, R-Otego, who also attended. “We have to be more nimble.” Schwerd, the veteran legislator from Edmeston, has been exploring whether the county should adopt a different model for job creation after Economic Developer Carolyn Lewis announced she is resigning in August. At Schwerd’s recommendation, Kathy Clark invited Sandy Mathes, the former Greene County economic developer, to speak to her colleagues Wednesday, June 5. He received a positive reception there, and two days later when he spoke to Citizen Voices, the progrowth business group. Mathes advocates an independent model for economic development – as is being done in Saratoga – as more flexible and able to react to opportunity more quickly. It would receive some public support – in Greene, for instance, the county’s tobaccosettlement money was put in a revolving loan fund – but would be largely self-funded by project fees. That discussion was picked up at the IGA meeting after Carolyn Lewis

Mayor: Tweaking Likely; Not Yet Fred Lemister Retires At County to paid parking – every PARKING/From A1 After Training Of 30,000 EMTs Still, he said, “I don’t think it’s too early to say: We’re going to tweak this.” Among the suggestions he’s heard to make the system more local-user friendly: • Changing the hours. Village Trustee James Dean has suggested moving the start from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. would allow locals to grab a cup of coffee and run errands before paid-parking goes into effect. “Maybe 10 to 8,” said Katz. “All of those things are up for discussion. Ultimately, it will be a board decision.” • $1 for the first hour instead of $2. Maybe $1.50, said Katz, but he pointed out the system is doing what the experts say it should: $2 for the parking closest to the Hall of Fame; then a circle of two-hour free parking; then, farther out, free all-day parking in the trolley lots. • Issuing permits to the household, rather than the individual driver. Some have complained the $25 permit is actually $50 or $75 or more per household, depending on the number of cars. “My preference would be to have a declining scale,” said the mayor. • Making screens more readable. It turns out that the screens on the Pay & Display machines are ADA compatible to a fault; people in wheelchairs can read them, but people standing up cannot. Katz said that issue is being reviewed, and also changing the message on the screen to better guide people who have never used P&D machines before. The mayor said he’s heard the stories that this business is losing $300 a day and that one $150, but also that other businesses are doing fine. Until sufficient time has passed to determine whether the rain or general economic conditions are in play, such inputs are simply anecdotal, he said. “People who are opposed

incident is a crisis,” Katz said. “But we have a long game here.” He pointed out that complaints also surfaced about the Doubleday Field lot when paid parking was initiated there five years ago, but that most people consider that a success. Village Trustee Lou Allstadt has observed, Katz reported, that the village often hasn’t explained to the public what it is doing and why it is doing it as well as it might. That may be true, said the mayor, but he noted some people tell him “fix the streets, don’t raise taxes, don’t run up revenues. Just figure it out ... Paid parking is a key part.” Some of the other strains continue, too, he added: “The people who said they are not going to shop in Cooperstown because of the tourists are now saying the same thing about the parking.”

red Lemister retired Thursday, June 6, as Otsego County emergency medical services coordinator after 13 years in that fulltime position. He trained emergency medical technicians (EMTs) from across the county, and also taught the American Heart Association’s CPR/ First Aid program. He had been training EMTs since 1979 and the AMA program since 1992 as a freelance instructor. He estimated he trained 1,500 people a year since 1992, or 30,000 in the past 21 years. On retirement, Fred and wife Karen immediately drove to Worcester, Mass., where he attended the 45th reunion of his class at Holy Cross College. He will continue to be active in the Cooperstown Fire Department and its

emergency squad, which he joined in 1970. The Lemisters also operate Rudy’s Liquor Store on Lemister Main Street, where he will continue to preside “at my wife’s pleasure.” The couple has two children and three grandchildren – including twins – in Florida.

Reynolds and Edward L. Reynolds (Judy) of Cooperstown, her daughter Nancy E. Peters (Bill) of Hartwick;

her grandchildren Michael Reynolds and Brett Utter, and her great-grandson Matthew Utter. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and her feline companion, Dexter.
